The latest Jesse Litsch MLB and fantasy baseball news

Toronto Blue Jays SP Jesse Litsch (shoulder) is waiting for a donor cadaver to have a bone graft surgery in a last-ditch effort to save his career. His third surgery in a calendar year will graft bone and cartilage onto the back of his right arm and shoulder, helping to compensate for the cartilage lost as a result of an infection.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Farrell said that RP Jesse Litsch (shoulder) underwent emergency surgery Tuesday, Feb. 28, after he contracted an infection from a platelet rich plasma injection from orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. He will not be allowed to throw for at least six weeks. Litsch is currently recovering at home after having spent 2 1/2 days in a hospital and he will need to take antibiotics for the next four weeks.
